Sound familiar?

HR keeps landing on your desk.

Here is one ordinary week. Not a crisis, not a lawsuit. Just the things that land on your desk because there is nobody else to hand them to.

Questions

The things owners ask first.

No. You stay the employer of your employees and there is no co employment arrangement. We handle the HR management and administration around what you already have.

No, and that is the point. Your provider processes payroll. We make sure the right information gets there on time.

It depends on headcount and what you need. Book a call and you will have real numbers in that conversation. If you are not ready for us yet, we will say so.

Yes. Handbooks, HR audits, job descriptions, compensation studies, manager training, a single hire. Bring us the project and we will scope it.

Maybe not full time. Plenty of clients keep their office manager and use us for the heavier situations. You are not replacing anyone by calling us.

We will give you a realistic start date on the first call, once we know what you need. Urgent employee situations we can help with right away.
